Chicken Pistachio Salad

(Serves 4)

 

50g shelled pistachio nuts, finely ground

1/2 + 1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon + 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

50g chopped sweet white onion

1 head romaine lettuce

 

Salad Recipe Dressing

 

1 teaspoon grated sweet white onion

1 large ripe avocado, pitted and peeled

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon water

 

Cooking Method:

 

To make the salad: Preheat the oven to 190 deg C. Mix the nuts with 1/2

teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a pie dish.  Press the chicken into

the nuts.  Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and cook the coated

breasts, 2 minutes per side.  Place the breasts in a baking dish, place in

the oven, and bake for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the

thickest portion registers 71 deg C and the juices run clear.

 

 

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over high

heat.  Add the chopped onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.  Cook

until the onion is browned.  Line 4 serving plates with lettuce.

 

To make the dressing: Puree the onion, avocado, oil, lime juice and water in

a blender.

 

Slice the chicken breasts and arrange 1 breast on top of the lettuce on each

plate.  Serve with the dressing.
